Well, that was the weekend and we've had a really busy week since then. We went to Penrith to do a bit of gardening and house cleaning for Daniel (as you can see we are having withdrawal symptoms). Friday night we caught up with our friends, for, guess what, another meal, Thai this time. Then out with Daniel and Ashley on Saturday night for a steak and blooming onion. Out again for breakfast, then Jill and Alistair picked us up for a whistle stop tour of a Cruise Expo. (We are contemplating a river cruise somewhere) and back to Kirribilli for fish and chips. If food and a good sense of humour get you through radiation and chemo, then we are streets ahead of anyone else!
We had our weekly appointment with our radiology specialist on Tuesday - she was very happy with Alan, who still looks a picture of health, hair is still dropping out, but he can't wait until the last week to wear his hat with the pony tail! Don't know what they'll think of that! We saw the chemo specialist today, who again was extremely happy with the way things are going and explained what would happen when we eventually make it home. Apparently, we get a month off, then continue double dose chemo for 5 days per month for the next 6 months. They are expecting Alan to "crash" when radiation finishes so we are undecided on when to come home at the moment.........will have to ponder on that one and see how he is.
Tomorrow we meet up with some other friends, Peter and Rita, for, guess what, lunch! Alan will try to write another blog in the next couple days, in between meals! Seriously, we have been walking for miles to counteract the food!
